DSS added to control merge strategy
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
The activity page merge option takes merge strategy as input and supports different merge strategy options like 'Replace', 'Update' etc. Previously, V1 DX APIs defaulted to REPLACE as the merge strategy; this has been updated to support both 'REPLACE' and 'UPDATE' merge strategies which can be controlled with the new DSS "v1MergeStrategy". The DSS to customize the merge strategy for v2 APIs is 'v2MergeStrategy', which also takes the values 'REPLACE' and 'UPDATE', which are for merge strategy '1' and '3' respectively. The default strategy from Pega 8.6 forward is 'UPDATE' and any other value other than the above two values will be considered as 'UPDATE'.

Application selections only announced when visible
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
The elements of the application switcher were being announced by the NVDA screen reader even when toggled off, i.e. not visible. The issue was occurring because the focus was remaining at the search bar even after closing the app switcher window, and has been resolved by adding the necessary logic to switch the focus.

Updated bulk action audit history logic and security
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After update, using the standard bulk action feature did not record an audit history entry for the SLA action on a case. This was traced to changes made around authorization for opening worklists when using pzBulkProcessItem that limited the audit history to reassign, transfer or transfer assignment, and has been resolved by updating the login the Work-pzBulkProcessItem activity. In addition, the Require authentication to run checkbox has been enabled on the Security tab of the activity, and the Allow invocation from browser checkbox has been disabled.

Mentioned user in Pulse appears correctly
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
When loading user names while using the "@" functionality in a Pulse post, adding or tagging the operator/user in Pulse by entering each letter brought up the list, but when using copy/paste it was not possible to select the desired value from the user.Suggestions list of operators/users. If by chance the user name was selected from the suggested list, the operator ID was added instead of the full name. This has been resolved.

Trailing "/" added to public links for SSO use
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
Links generated using pyWorkLinkWithLabel were not working with SSO due to not having a trailing "/" on the URL. This has been corrected by adding code to append the "/" if the public link url doesn't end with it.

Correct context set for offline chat email processing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After configuring "Allow end-customers to submit an email when chat is unavailable", the options for email and message were presented in the chat window and an item was queued for the queue processor cyCreateOfflineEmailMessage, but the queue processor became stuck on the queue item. Investigation traced this to the configuration causing the pyShouldExtensionBeLoaded activity to run under the incorrect context, which prevented it from accessing the needed workparty and goal values. This has been resolved by adding the pyShouldExtensionBeLoaded class to the pages to ensure the correct context.

Handling added for missing div when opening work object
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
In mobile offline app, opening a work object in a specific scenario for the second time resulted in an endless busy indicator. It was not possible to navigate away, and the app had to be closed and reopened to continue. Investigation showed that some app sections had an action that tried to load a harness section where one specific div was missing, and this has been resolved by updating reloadSectionOSCOHandler to handle the missing div in the failure callback. Additionally a console.error() will appear for the missing section.

SQL query handling updated for mobile
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
When the check box in mobile channel "Disclose application size when users log in for the first time" was enabled it produced the error "There was a problem getting a list: SQLState: Message: ERROR: relation "pr_data_full_sync_stats" does not exist". Investigation showed that all SQL queries passed to getDb().executeRDB(...) method were using the SQL table directly, ignoring any customizations to table mapping or database prefixes. This has been resolved by replacing the table name with a class reference ("Class: Pega-OfflineFullSyncSizeStatistics") so that table mapping can replace the reference with a proper table name and proper database prefix.
